I needed to use a class from ZF2 in my Yii project.
I've read probably all there is about this subject and still I needed lots of trial & errors to get it working, probably due to my lack of experience working with namepsaces and ZF2 in general. Also, the resources on the web are all partial, at best. Most simply refer to ZF1 where things are technically different. When I got it all working I decided to record my findings and that's how this article was born. The below recipe is what worked for me, accompanied by relevant comments.

Sometimes you want to use exisiting translations for locales, which do not directly match.
An example would be a website targeting Germany (de_de), Austria (de_at) and Switzerland (de_ch, fr_ch, it_ch). Although you may have
exisiting translations for German (de), French (fr) and Italian (it), there are problems using it directly.

Lets say we have such a CGridView widget showing a list of users for administrator. Users have status „active“ or „disabled“.
Grid widget puts class „odd“ or „even“ to rows and we want to preserve this. So we want to add a class „disabled“ to rows with disabled users.

Lots of people are asking how to solve it with YII,We think its difficult with YII. But its easy to solve . There is no database triggers needed . we can simply sove it by extending a class(say "RActiveRecord") from CActiveRecord .Then extend all our model classes from that class.

We are running one frontend running NGINX and several app servers running Apache2.
There are several issues we have come across but right now I'll be documenting one of them. I'll be completing this article when I get more time.
